A nonidentifying clause (non-restrictive clause) adds extra information about a noun already identified by other means, for example, by name, by shared knowledge or context. The clause, a comment, is set off with commas (before and, if necessary, after the clause). It is also called nonrestrictive, nonessential, or unnecessary clause. See Commas – comments.

Celebrity Pros and Cons

Read for Errors

A person whose famous has to manage both the good and the bad sides of celebrity. On the good side, people are excited to meet a celebrity in the news whose face is easily recognized from television or movies. Such a person attracts the curiosity of other people who they think their lives seem less exciting.

However, a person whose picture is in the news can't hide easily. If he's walking down the street, everyone whose sees him can walk right up to him and ask for an autograph. Also, the public expects to meet a celebrity whose is a model for others.

Celebrity is even more difficult for a woman. A female celebrity in the news whose disheveled picture appears becomes a target for gossip. She cannot leave her house without being "picture perfect". Consequently, when we see celebrities whose heads are covered and whose eyes are hidden behind sunglasses, we can understand why they do so.

Managing the good and the bad is essential for a celebrity who his career depends on it. And though we may feel a little jealous of celebrity privileges, anyone whose experienced fame will tell you it has its pros and cons.
